After his stint in rehab for excessive partying, TOWIE star James 'Arg' Argent has embarked on regular Educating Arg sessions with the girlfriend Lydia Bright - who is trying to expand his mind with highbrow movies and documentaries.

Now that he is clubbing less he tells 3am: Arg: “We watch a lot TV on the sofa now instead of going out as much.

“I like documentaries now and gritty American films. I’ve watched more films with Lydia over the last few months than I have in my whole life.

“I used to go to for easy American films, but now Lydia is trying to educate me, with Oscar-acclaimed films that make you think and expand your mind and I love them.”

It comes as the reality star has insisted he did not have a booze addiction in the first place, despite spending time in The Priory last year.

Arg has enjoyed a boozy night out with his fellow TOWIE castmates in Marbella but has said no-one should be worried as the blip was "not the end of the world".
